Dedicated to Horror, Post Apocalyptic Fiction and Thrillers

Corpse Cold: New American Folklore By John Brhel and Joe Sullivan

Cemetery Gates Media is launching a Kickstarter campaign on Sept. 30 to fund a fully illustrated book of spooky stories inspired by 80s and 90s horror books like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The book, CORPSE COLD: NEW AMERICAN FOLKLORE, features 15 stories, written by John Brhel and Joe Sullivan and illustrated by artist Chad Wehrle.

Corpse Cold: New American Folklore features 15 chilling campfire-style legends, written in homage to classic horror series like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Fear Street, intended for adult readers. The book is co-written by authors John Brhel and Joe Sullivan, and each story is accompanied by a macabre illustration by artist Chad Wehrle.

“We grew up watching Twilight Zoneand Are You Afraid of the Dark?and reading books like Washington Irving’s TheSketch Book and various American horror anthologies,” said Brhel. “The unsettling stories and imagery found in books like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark made an impact on Joe, Chad, and myself, all the way back in elementary school. In fact, those books are one of the biggest reasons why we write today. With Corpse Cold, we hope to provide that same sort of reading experience for people like us — readers who are grown up, but still nostalgic for creepy art and new takes on well, and lesser known, urban legends and folktales.”
